You may have sensed a sexual nuance in both the title and subtitle of this short story collection. But nope, that’s just the way your mind works. And how a reader’s mind works is of the utmost interest to a writer. The reason for the title is more mundane. I ran out of story ideas at 69 and just because I can I’m publishing the collection on June 5, 2026, my 69th birthday. As for the Wham Bam subtitle, that has to do with the brevity of these stories and not with the misogynist ditty Wham Bam Thank You, Ma’am so popular among soldiers during World War II.

Undaunted is the captivating true story of the spirited, intrepid aviation pioneer who inspired the countless daring pilots and astronauts who came after him. A consummate adventurer, Jimmie Mattern was seemingly impervious to pain or despair. After every misfortune, he climbed right back into the cockpit and set his sights on the next horizon—unafraid and unfaltering.

Each "poem," "story," "yarn," whatever you want to call it, tells a tale of some life-altering experience in Simpson's journey through the cosmos. The places he's ventured. The folks he's met. The stuff he's seen and done.

So what is this Middle Class American White Boy all about? It’s sort of a memoir in verse. This second edition contains 20 stories (narratives) (poems) from some crucial or mind-expanding time in my life. The idea is to tell as much story as possible in the fewest possible words. "The Universe", for instance - my own personal War & Peace - tells the tale of my time in Argentina during the Dirty War. When I wrote the account many moons ago it topped out at almost 30,000 words. I have now reduced that same story to a narrative verse of just over 900 words.

The hot controversy over Bernie Sanders and AOC is testimony to the passion people have over the question of socialism or capitalism. In Capitalism Versus Socialism: What Does the Bible Have to Say?, Dr. Simpson demonstrates clearly that the Bible has something to say about the foundations of capitalist and socialist economic systems, even though it does not specifically prescribe either one. Get this book, and you can gain a clear and sound understanding of the differences between capitalism and socialism and how they square with the Bible.
